“How about you compensate me by marrying him instead ?” He asked with a wink .
“Hmph no way!” She replied with a snort and added “You did not lose anything, why should I compensate you?” She asked“Of course I am about to lose something “ he replied as a matter of factly“What?” She smirkThe woman was still standing there watching them interact naturally , she looked at Shawty with a jealous look. She blamed Shawty for flirting with her boss in front of her.Fredrick suddenly glanced at her, she quickly masked her vicious eyes and changed it to a pitiful look. “ Boss … “ she called slowly“You are fired “ Fredrick interrupted her expressionlessly“What???” The woman yelled in surpriseShawty was also surprised that Fredrick decided to fire her but she did not say anything .“I won’t repeat my words” Fredrick saysThe woman thought she did not hear him properly, she was oneShawty walked away. Her figure looked lonely. Fredrick felt his heart ache for her; he hated how sad she looked. She stood on the balcony, looking at the distance in a daze; she was not looking at anything in particular. Frederick walked towards her and stood quietly beside her to keep her company. They stood there for a few hours; no one said anything, but it was peaceful. "Maybe she is really right." Shawty finally spoke up after a few hours of silence. "I am bad luck; I guess it was my bad luck that made my parents die," she said, feeling melancholy. "Shhh, you are not bad luck; you don’t have to care about that nonsense that woman said," Frederick said. Shawty chuckled. "I know you are just trying to console me," she said. "It is a fact! I keep getting important contracts since you followed me back; I never regret it," he told her."Really? You really signed important contracts after I arriv
Shawty nodded obediently and asked, "Can you bring me to my parents graveyard?" She requested. Fredrick wanted to reject her request because it would be cold and chilly outside and she might catch a cold. "Please…" She begged in a low tone. She looked a little pitiful with her puffy eyes. "But..." Fredrick hesitated. Her eyes fell, and she looked disappointed when she saw him hesitating. "You can’t...?" She asked sadly. Fredrick took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "Fine, but you must listen to whatever I say, okay?" He said it with a hint of warning. Shawty nodded without hesitation. She does not know why, but she feels that she could trust him. Her heart was filled with warmth right now. Whenever she is sad, there is no one beside her to console her. In the company where she works, they only see her as a money tree because of how perfectly she always completes the mission. After Leonard, who is the boss of
Was what Fredrick said really correct?She thought doubtfully. Are parents truly happy that they are together? If that is really true, then her mission would have to be dropped, or it would surely make her parents unhappy with her. She shook her head. No, she cannot let her parents be unhappy with her. She had to drop it."You can also see that your parents love you. This ray of light means they have forgiven you, okay? So don’t make them unhappy again." Fredrick’s voice broke her thoughts. Shawty snapped out of her thoughts and nodded. She smiled at him and thanked him sincerely, "Thank you." "It is fine." He caressed her cheek. His eyes fell on her soft, cherry-pink lips. He could not help but lean closer to her, but he immediately stopped himself. What are you doing? She is sad; don’t go overboard. He scolded himself. Shawty blinked her eyes at him and looked at h
Shawty did not reply to his question again. Fredrick was not mad; he just smiled. "Let’s make a deal." Shawty's ears perked up when she heard his words. "What deal?" she asked. "I’ll help you regain your freedom and make Leonard not disturb you anymore," he said with a smile. Shawty was not the least excited when she heard his words. Like, how the hell will one make a deal with someone and not expect something in return? It seems too good to be true. "What are you gaining from it?" She asked with a raised eyebrow."Marry me," he said. Shawty was dumbfounded. She was expecting him to have a list of requests, but marriage was not on the list, she thought. She frowned and rejected him without hesitation: "No way!" She said. "I thought you said you wanted to repent when we were at the graveyard today? Are you still considering joining back?" He asked with an annoyed expression.
There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, but Shawty knew her guess was right when she saw this.Her lips curled up in a mocking smile.She hung up the phone without hesitation.It seems she is really stupid, like Frederick says, or was she just pretending to be stupid? She knew deep down in her heart that Fredrick was right, but she just did not want to admit it and choose to believe. But her eyes were widened to reality now.She sighed and lay down on the bed. She used the quilt to cover her body, her eyes fixed on the ceiling.Beep! Her phone beeped.She knew it was a text message because it only does that whenever she has a text message.She picked up her phone and unlocked it.It was Leonard."It seems you still don’t believe whatever I say. Anyway, hurry up with the mission and come back. Don’t forget that Emily, your sister, is still waiting for you." That was the text message.Her heart turned cold.How can she forget about Emily?The text message looked like it was
Her jaw dropped, and she was instantly shocked.There were dark circles under her eyes. Now she understands why Frederick was sure she could not sleep, but she really thought he peeped on her when she was inside the room.Thinking about it now made her feel so embarrassed; no wonder he was mad at her. It seems she misunderstood him.Ring! Ring!Her phone rang!She dipped her hand into her pocket and brought it out. There was a little zipper in the gown she wore, so she could put her phone there.She glanced at the screen.It was her uncle who was calling.She answered the call and put the phone in her ear."Hello," she said."Shawty, How are you doing?" Leo asked."I am fine," she answered.She could hear Leo sighed from the other side; she was not a warm person, and she did not really have friends; besides, she was not really close to Leo. She only shows her true feelings to people she is close with. Like Emily."That is good to hear. Where are you?" He asked."In a taxi," she repli
when the glass of the backseat slid down.She looked up, and her gaze met an unfamiliar face.It was the shareholder who had no reaction when she was inside the meeting room.Shawty nodded at him."You have grown up," the man said as he scrutinized her. "You look more like your father," he added.Shawty was surprised. She always thought she looked like her mom, but this was the first time she heard that she looked like her father."You know him?" She asked. She realized how stupid her question sounded, but she had already asked and could not take back her words."Of course your father and I were very close. Get in if you want to know more," he said.Shawty nodded.She walked to the passenger door so she could sit beside the driver."Come and sit next to me." The man's voice stopped her.She turned around and walked to the other side. She opened the door and got into the car.The car was very neat.She sat down next to him."To where?" The man asked.She told him about Frederick Compa
Who was he kidding? Her education was top-notch; it was more than whatever he learned or even his daughter learned. That was why the way she grew up was a secret to Leonard Larl. She was very educated, and she had almost twenty teachers with different subjects. Even though she was young, she was never allowed to step outside. But she was very educated, and her memory is very good, which is why she was a genius. In fact, when she was kidnapped, she was locked up in a room filled with children. Most of the children were crying; she was the only one who did not shed tears because she knew that crying wouldn’t solve anything. Some of the children she met in the room looked very skinny, to the point where one could see their bones. They were fifty children in total. Most of them died, but only five of them survived. Among the five who survived, she was one of the best and the chosen one. They were fed different kinds of poisons just to make them immune to poison, and most of th
The pain she expected did not come. She opened her eyes closely and saw that Simon was on the floor, holding his legs. His face was twisted in pain. Shawty raised her head and looked up. She saw that the person who actually shot him was the man who came in earlier and tied her. She frowned, wondering why he was helping her.I hope it is not like she was escaping from the fry pan to the fire instead."Who are you? You are not Elliot," Simon said in a confident tone.The man, ‘Elliott, just smiled. "Did you not message me to come here? You still don’t know or recognize me?" The man asked with a smile.Simon was stunned; he pointed his finger tremblingly and said, "YYou are Fredrick? How come?" He asked in shock.Shawty was also shocked; no wonder she felt that the man was awfully familiar, so it was actually Fredrick, just like she expected. She did not expect him to really come.Fredrick just smiled."You cannot escape; before you are able to leave here, my men will kill you," Simon sa
She was so shocked that she could not even speak. She was silent for a while before she finally regained her composure."Uncle Simon?" She called hesitantly. She still felt that she was not seeing things properly.Simon walked toward her with a smile."Why are you here? Did you hear about what happened to me when I came here? You should not; you will be risking your life by doing this," Shawty said with a concerned expression on her face.Simon chuckled. "You are really funny; you have not been able to escape, but you are thinking about me." He said it with an amused expression.Shawty narrowed her eyes. She was connecting the dots, but she still felt that it was impossible. She shook her head. "You are the one behind all of these?" She asked hesitantly.Simon smiled. "You are very smart, just like your mother," He said with a smile.Shawty shook her head in disbelief. It was not that she did not think about it when he walked into the room. But everything and how he behaved whenever s
Five days later.Shawty looked around the room, feeling bored. She was expecting Leonard to come; maybe she would finally meet the mastermind today. All they wanted was for her to regain consciousness before they could finally move on to the next mission.The room door opened, and a man walked in. Shawty guessed that it was one of the bodyguards, but she had never seen him before.He walked toward her.Shawty felt he was familiar, but his face does not look familiar. But he really was familiar. She does not know why she felt that way. She suddenly thought of Fredrick. She shook her head. ‘It seems she was missing Fredrick so much that all men now looked like him to her, She thought.The room door also opened, and Leonard walked in. Shawty looked at him and said, "You cannot even at least knock on the door; what if I am changing or something?" She said, feeling angry.Leonard glanced at her briefly and asked, "What are you trying to hide? I have seen it when you were young a lot of tim
Fredrick walked out of the company.Ring!!He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone. He glanced at the screen and saw that the caller was Chris. He answered the call and put the phone on his ear."Hello" "Come to my house if you are less busy; my men figured out something," Chris said immediately.Okay," Fredrick replied, getting into the car.The driver started the car and drove out of the company. He drove into Chris’s garage. Fredrick opened the car door and got out of the car.He walked towards his house, opened the door, and walked into the house. He looked around and only saw his second in command; he did not see Chris."He is in his study room," his second in command said to him when he saw him.Fredrick nodded. He climbed the staircase and walked towards his study room. He opened the door and walked into the study room. Chris was sitting down in front of his laptop.Fredrick looked at him and sat down beside him. "What is so urgent that you asked me to com
Even her suicide was fake. She knew that the people behind everything would save her. She was killing two birds with one stone: first, she would be able to figure out the mastermind behind all of this, and second, she would be able to erase everything. Her pregnancy was totally unexpected; she did not even know that she was pregnant. She only knew that the mastermind wanted her; she did not expect to cover so many things after days of being here.She used her suicide as a trap; she was guessing if the mastermind would save her. If he did not, then Jay was already prepared to save her too. When the mastermind saved her, she knew everything before she passed out. That was why she also discovered that getting to Leonard’s den was not that simple. The mastermind is the one behind Leonard, and Leonard also confirmed her guess. When he was talking with Luke, Fredrick's stepbrother He mentioned the hidden boss, whom she never even knew or met since she was there. She met a lot of people but
Leonard was shocked, as expected; he turned his head and looked at Luke. "What? He resumed with the company already?" He asked.Luke nodded and said, Yes, I am just coming back from there. He is back at the company," He said.Leonard looked at him. "You should leave before he suspects you and traces you to here now," He said with an anxious expression.Luke nodded. Even though he was unwilling to leave, he still had to because Leonard might order his bodyguards to throw him out of the house, and he did not want that kind of situation.He turned around and walked out of the room. Leonard was silently looking at the unconscious woman."I know you have regained your consciousness. There is no need for you to pretend anymore. I am not playing those games with you anymore," He said with a stern expression.The woman on the bed did not move. She was still in the same position, like he was not talking to her."Are you still pretending? I will call the doctor to remove the tumor in your stoma
Fredrick walked into his office, looking thoughtful. Even though Luke had already told him that it was a mistake, he did not want to believe that there was such a mistake. He dipped his hand into his pocket, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed Chris’s number.The phone rang for a while before he finally answered it on the third ring. "Hello, are you already missing me? Is that why you are calling me just a few hours after leaving my place?" Chris asked."I think Luke is suspicious; help me follow his movements. He might know something," He said in a serious voice.Okay, on it!" Chris immediately responded with a serious expression. Once it was time to be serious, he was always serious.Fredrick immediately hung up after this. Chris was furious on the other side and almost banged the table angrily. This ungrateful man did not even tell him thank you and just instructed him like he was his surrogate. He is so annoying.Luke walked into the house, looked around, and saw that t
He frowned, irritated that someone was not minding his business. The female employee raised her head and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Drake."President!" She cried out in a joyful voice. She felt like it had been years since the president left. He would never let her do this or lick his shoe like Luke demanded. She was very happy when she saw him.Luke froze. He was in disbelief and raised his head slowly. He was stunned when his eyes met Fredrick’s cold eyes."You …" His eyes widened in shock when he saw him, like he saw a ghost.Fredrick smiled. "I am back," he said.Luke asked dumbfoundedly, "Why are you back?"He asked. "Are you not supposed to be heartbroken about..." He immediately stopped talking when he realized that he was about to spill the beans.Fredrick raised an eyebrow. What happened to Shawty was not known by the public; only Chris knows it, so why was he acting this way?"What do you mean? Heartbroken? About what?" He asked him, searching his eyes for answers.
The employees immediately walked towards their various posts. Luke lifted his head up haughtily; he was very happy to see that the employees were all listening to him. The employees were only listening to him because they did not know who would win the fight between the two of them, maybe Fredrick or Luke, so they had to obey whatever so they would not be implicated. They never thought about the fact that if Fredrick instructed them to do something and Luke instructed them to do something else, who would they listen to? They did not think about that.He walked toward the elevator. He stopped as he was about to enter the presidential elevator. He looked at the presidential elevator with a greedy look. The elevator will soon be his. The elevator has a fingerprint scanner that works only with Fredrick and anyone else he wants to allow to use it. If not, he would have taken the elevator as his from the very beginning. But it is just a little time; with the elevator, he will be able to use
